How I Regulate My Nervous System When My Mind Races

This morning, I noticed my mind moving fast before my body felt fully awake. Instead of trying to stop I go within asking why. I’m becoming aware of when my nervous system is activated and choosing to slow it down rather than letting it run the show.

When I notice that feeling kicking in, I pause. I ground myself in what’s actually happening in the moment. I slow my breathing. I tap through it (EFT). I move my body.

This isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about interrupting old patterns instead of automatically continuing them. It’s about choosing regulation over reaction.

I’m still learning. I’m still practicing. But each time I catch myself instead of spiraling, something shifts. My body softens. My mind quiets. And I’m able to move through the day from a more grounded place.
